“I
praise God for what he has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
What can mere mortals do to me?” Psalm
56:4 NLT
There are
many times in this life when we may have every reason to be afraid.
The dread that can come over us at certain times can cloud our judgment and dim
our sight where all we see before us is the issue at hand. At that
moment our faith can leave us and our trust in God can be shaken to its’
core. It’s at times like these that we
need to learn to place our focus squarely on the Lord and not our circumstances.
The lesson we can learn is that while we
will have times when fear will grip our hearts, we truly can trust God to be
with us and see us through any situation.
“I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” (1)
“This is my command--be strong
and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." (2)
We must understand that God has absolute
control and power over His creation. If anything were not under
His control then He couldn’t be who He says He is. God has never and will
never fail any of us at any time. His ways are not our ways and His timing rarely
corresponds with our timing, yet God can be
trusted. He is never wrong, nor is He ever late. Nothing will
happen to you or me without God’s permission. He allows things for our
own benefit, regardless of how they appear at a given moment. Place your
full trust in Him. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
